1. DI~,CONNECT THE BATTERY, before connecting or disconnecting test instruments (except voltmeter) or before remo~Ting or replacing any unit or wiring. Accidental grounding or shorting at the reg:alator, alternator, ammeter or accessories, will cause severe damage to the unil:s an.d/or wiring. 2. TO AVOID DAMAGE TO THE REGU- LATOR, DO NOT, AT ANY TIME, CONNECT BATTERY TO THE REG- ULATOR FIELD TERMINAL. 3. THE FIELD CIRCUIT MUST NEVER BE GROUNDED, ON THIS SYSTEM, BETWEEN THE ALTERNATOR AND THE REGULATOR. Grounding of the field terminal either at the alternator or regulator will damage the regulator. 4. IF IT IS NECESSARY TO SOLDER ANY LEAD TO A RECTIFIER LEAD, use a pair of pliers as a heat dam between the solder joint and the rectifier. 5. THE ALTERNATOR MUST NOT BE OPERATED ON OPEN CIRCUIT WITH THE ROTOR WINDING ENERGIZED. 6. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO POLARIZE THE ALTERNATOR. No polarization is required. Any attempt to do so may resc~lt in damage to the alternator, reglator, or circuits. 7. GROUNDING OF THE ALTERNATOR OU~?PUT TERMINAL MAY DAMAGE THE ALTERNATOR AND/OR CIR- CUIT AND COMPONENTS. 8. REVERSED BATTERY CONNEC- TIONS MAY DAMAGE THE RECTIFI- ERS, WIRING OR OTHER COMPON- ENTS OF THE CHARGING SYSTEM. Battery polarity should be checked with a voltmeter before connecting the battery. 9. IF A BOOSTER BATTERY OR FAST CHARGER IS USED, ITS POLARITY MUST BE CONNECTED CORRECTLY TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM COMPON- ENTS. (POSITIVE TO POSITIVE, NEGATIVE TO NEGATIVE). IV. Regulator Pa~e 51D Some regulators are fully transistorized and completely .sealed. These can not be adjusted or repaired, and it can be assumed that this type regulator will outlive the other components in the charging system. Other regulators are adjusted and repaired in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Installation of Regulator for Alternator To insure proper operation and to protect the alternator and regulator, the following steps should be observed during installation. 1. Make sure regulator is of the same voltage and polarity as the alternator and battery. 2. Disconnect battery cable at battery terminal. Make sure the mounting area of the alternator and regulator base are clean and make a good tight connection. Connect alternator in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. 5. Do not flash field or ground terminals of the regulator. Reconnect battery cable. Start engine and observe ammeter. A "High" charge rate is normal for the first few minutes, but will decrease as the regulator warms up. NOTE : When servicing the charging system, never remove a unit until tests have shown it to be defective. Reference always should be made to the manufacturer’s maintenance manuals for a complete trouble shooting story.
Page 52 CONTINENTAL L-HEAD ENGINE MANUAL This section includes instructions for repairs and overhaul of the component units of Continental Red Seal L-Head engines. Provide a clean place to work and clean the engine exterior before you start disassembling -dirt causes engine failures. Many shop tools have been developed to save time and assure good workmanship; these should be included in your equipment. Use only genuine Red Seal parts in Continental engines since years of development and testing have gone into these specifications to assure maximum life and performance. CYLINDER HEAD The cylinder head is an important part of the engine assembly since it contains the complete combustion chamber and cored passage for water flow. Remove the cylinder head in the following sequence: 1. Drain water from engine and disconnect radiator or heat exchanger outlet hose. 2. Loosen and remove the nuts holding the cylinder head to the block. 3. Lift the cylinder head off the engine and carry to a clean bench for further disassembly. 4. Remove all carbon from combustion areas using a scraper and wire brush. Figure 110 ~ Cleaning carbon from combustion chamber SECTION VIII ENGINE REPAIR AND OVERHAUL 5. Clean the cylinder head thoroughly with a solvent or degreasing solution and blow it off with air pressure. 6. Make sure that gasket contact surfaces on the head and block are clean, smooth and flat. Figure 11 1 m Checking cylinder head flatness lengthwise. 7. Check out-of-flatness with straight edge and feeler gauge: maximum permissible is .00075 inches per inch of width or length. Thus, for a cylinder head 16" long, maximum permissible lengthwise out-of-flatness is .012". Out-of-flatness should vary gradually and uniformly from end to end and side to side. Localized depressions or high spots should not exceed .003. Figure 112 m Checking cylinder head flatness crosswise.
